I am trying to fetch data from a firestore collection and show it as a list in a widget, i am not too experienced on how widget logic works so i thought that there might be a function that invokes the widget view to be updated when the data is filled.
I basically fetch the information from a RemoteViewFactory class, but since the firebase functions are all asynchronous, i don't know how to make the widget to wait until the data is filled, or invoke a function within the class that would invoke the update.
Currently my class looks like this:
public class TaskDataProvider implements RemoteViewsService.RemoteViewsFactory {
private static final String TAG = TaskDataProvider.class.getSimpleName();
private static final int TOTAL = 10;
List<Task> tasks = new ArrayList<>();
private Context context;
public TaskDataProvider(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
this.loadData(value -> this.tasks = value);
}
#Override
public void onDataSetChanged() {
this.loadData(value -> this.tasks = value);
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return this.tasks.size();
}
#Override
public RemoteViews getViewAt(int position) {
final RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(this.context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_task_item);
final Task currentTask = this.tasks.get(position);
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.widget_task_item_title, currentTask.getTitle());
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.widget_task_item_description, currentTask.getDescription());
return remoteViews;
}
#Override
public RemoteViews getLoadingView() {
return null;
}
#Override
public int getViewTypeCount() {
return 1;
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
#Override
public boolean hasStableIds() {
return true;
}
private void loadData(ResultListener<List<Task>> resultListener) {
FirebaseAuth auth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
FirebaseUser user = auth.getCurrentUser();
if (user != null) {
this.retrieveTasks(user.getUid(), resultListener);
}
}
private void retrieveTasks(String userId, ResultListener<List<Task>> resultListener) {
FirebaseFirestore firestore = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance();
firestore.collectionGroup(this.context.getString(R.string.database_project_task_collection_name))
.whereEqualTo(Task.FIELD_ASSIGNEE, userId)
.whereEqualTo(Task.FIELD_STATUS, TaskStatus.STATUS_OPEN)
.get()
.addOnCompleteListener(task -> {
if (!task.isSuccessful()) {
Log.e(TAG, "Unable to retrieve task list", task.getException());
} else {
final QuerySnapshot result = task.getResult();
if (result != null) {
Log.d(TAG, String.format("Found tasks: %d", result.size()));
resultListener.onResult(result.toObjects(Task.class));
}
}
});
}
}
Both onCreate and onDataSetChanged are calling loadData which takes care of fetching the collection data from firestore, i know that at the time both onCreate and onDataSetChanged finished running the tasks property is still not filled and therefore nothing is filled in the list i am rendering in the widget.
How can i properly fetch information from firebase and then fill a ListView widget with that information?
The structure of my application is as follows:
MainActivity(Activity) containing Bottom Navigation View with three fragments nested below
HomeFragment(Fragment) containing TabLayout with ViewPager with following two tabs
Journal(Fragment)
Bookmarks(Fragment)
Fragment B(Fragment)
Fragment C(Fragment)
I am using Room to maintain all the records of journals. I'm observing one LiveData object each in Journal and Bookmarks fragment. These LiveData objects are returned by my JournalViewModel class.
JournalDatabase.java
public abstract class JournalDatabase extends RoomDatabase {
private static final int NUMBER_OF_THREADS = 4;
static final ExecutorService dbWriteExecutor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(NUMBER_OF_THREADS);
private static JournalDatabase INSTANCE;
static synchronized JournalDatabase getInstance(Context context) {
if (INSTANCE == null) {
INSTANCE = Room.databaseBuilder(context.getApplicationContext(), JournalDatabase.class, "main_database")
.fallbackToDestructiveMigration()
.build();
}
return INSTANCE;
}
public abstract JournalDao journalDao();
}
JournalRepository.java
public class JournalRepository {
private JournalDao journalDao;
private LiveData<List<Journal>> allJournals;
private LiveData<List<Journal>> bookmarkedJournals;
public JournalRepository(Application application) {
JournalDatabase journalDatabase = JournalDatabase.getInstance(application);
journalDao = journalDatabase.journalDao();
allJournals = journalDao.getJournalsByDate();
bookmarkedJournals = journalDao.getBookmarkedJournals();
}
public void insert(Journal journal) {
JournalDatabase.dbWriteExecutor.execute(() -> {
journalDao.insert(journal);
});
}
public void update(Journal journal) {
JournalDatabase.dbWriteExecutor.execute(() -> {
journalDao.update(journal);
});
}
public void delete(Journal journal) {
JournalDatabase.dbWriteExecutor.execute(() -> {
journalDao.delete(journal);
});
}
public void deleteAll() {
JournalDatabase.dbWriteExecutor.execute(() -> {
journalDao.deleteAll();
});
}
public LiveData<List<Journal>> getAllJournals() {
return allJournals;
}
public LiveData<List<Journal>> getBookmarkedJournals() {
return bookmarkedJournals;
}
}
JournalViewModel.java
public class JournalViewModel extends AndroidViewModel {
private JournalRepository repository;
private LiveData<List<Journal>> journals;
private LiveData<List<Journal>> bookmarkedJournals;
public JournalViewModel(#NonNull Application application) {
super(application);
repository = new JournalRepository(application);
journals = repository.getAllJournals();
bookmarkedJournals = repository.getBookmarkedJournals();
}
public void insert(Journal journal) {
repository.insert(journal);
}
public void update(Journal journal) {
repository.update(journal);
}
public void delete(Journal journal) {
repository.delete(journal);
}
public void deleteAll() {
repository.deleteAll();
}
public LiveData<List<Journal>> getAllJournals() {
return journals;
}
public LiveData<List<Journal>> getBookmarkedJournals() {
return bookmarkedJournals;
}
}
I'm instantiating this ViewModel inside onActivityCreated() method of both Fragments.
JournalFragment.java
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
JournalFactory factory = new JournalFactory(requireActivity().getApplication());
journalViewModel = new ViewModelProvider(requireActivity(), factory).get(JournalViewModel.class);
journalViewModel.getAllJournals().observe(getViewLifecycleOwner(), new Observer<List<Journal>>() {
#Override
public void onChanged(List<Journal> list) {
journalAdapter.submitList(list);
}
});
}
BookmarksFragment.java
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
JournalFactory factory = new JournalFactory(requireActivity().getApplication());
journalViewModel = new ViewModelProvider(requireActivity(), factory).get(JournalViewModel.class);
journalViewModel.getBookmarkedJournals().observe(getViewLifecycleOwner(), new Observer<List<Journal>>() {
#Override
public void onChanged(List<Journal> list) {
adapter.submitList(list);
}
});
}
However, the problem when I use this approach is as I delete make some changes in any of the Fragment like delete or update some Journal some other Journal's date field changes randomly.
I was able to solve this issue by using single LiveData object and observe it in both fragments. The changes I had to make in BookmarkFragment is as follows:
BookmarksFragment.java
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
JournalFactory factory = new JournalFactory(requireActivity().getApplication());
journalViewModel = new ViewModelProvider(requireActivity(), factory).get(JournalViewModel.class);
journalViewModel.getAllJournals().observe(getViewLifecycleOwner(), new Observer<List<Journal>>() {
#Override
public void onChanged(List<Journal> list) {
List<Journal> bookmarkedJournals = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
if (list.get(i).getBookmark() == 1)
bookmarkedJournals.add(list.get(i));
}
adapter.submitList(bookmarkedJournals);
}
});
}
It works properly now.
However, I want to know why it didn't work using my first approach which was to use two different LiveData objects and observe them in different fragments.
Are multiple LiveData objects not meant to be used in single ViewModel?
OR
Are two instances of same ViewModel not allowed to exist together while making changes and fetching different LiveData objects from the same table simultaneously?
I found out the reason causing this problem.
As I was using LiveData with getViewLifecycleOwner() as the LifecycleOwner, the observer I passed as parameter was never getting removed. So, after switching to a different tab, there were two active observers observing different LiveData objects of same ViewModel.
The way this issue can be solved is by storing the LiveData object in a variable then removing the observer as you switch to different fragment.
In my scenario, I solved this issue by doing the following:
//store LiveData object in a variable
LiveData<List<Journal>> currentLiveData = journalViewModel.getAllJournals();
//observe this livedata object
currentLiveData.observer(observer);
Then remove this observer in a suitable Lifecycle method or anywhere that suits your needs like
#Override
public void onDestroyView() {
super.onDestroyView();
//if you want to remove all observers
currentLiveData.removeObservers(getViewLifecycleOwner());
//if you want to remove particular observers
currentLiveData.removeObserver(observer);
}
I have a doubt.If i have a method that make asynchronous call to an api and converts the results of it to livedata object and in another place i am updating my recyclerview when data changes, then every time call to this method will update recyclerview or ,for eg:if url stays same then it won't update the recyclerview;Pls help.
Here is the code for observing data in Mainactivity onCreate method.
JsonViewModel model = new ViewModelProvider(this).get(JsonViewModel.class);
model.getData("top_rated").observe(this, data -> {
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(new MovieRecyclerViewAdapter(this,data));
});
Here is the JsonViewModel class
public class JsonViewModel extends AndroidViewModel {
private JsonLivedata data;
public JsonViewModel(#NonNull Application application) {
super(application);
data=new JsonLivedata();
}
public LiveData<List<Movie>> getData(String path) {
data.loadData(path);
return data;
}
}
Here is the JsonLivedata class
public class JsonLivedata extends LiveData<List<Movie>> {
private static final String TAG = "JsonLivedata";
public JsonLivedata() {
}
public void loadData(String path){
Log.d(TAG, "loadData: Called");
new AsyncTask<String,Void,List<Movie>>(){
#Override
protected List<Movie> doInBackground(String... path) {
List<Movie> allTopMovies= JsonResponseFetcher.makeAsyncQueryForMovies(path[0]);
return allTopMovies;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(List<Movie> movies) {
setValue(movies);
}
}.execute(path);
}
}
And here is the method that call livedata loaddata method
changeBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
model.getData("popular");
}
});
Or I am doing things wrongly.Can anyone suggest
First create adapter instance & set to RecyclerView
JsonViewModel model = new ViewModelProvider(this).get(JsonViewModel.class);
MovieRecyclerViewAdapter movieRecyclerViewAdapter = new MovieRecyclerViewAdapter(this, dataList)
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(movieRecyclerViewAdapter);
Then do this on data changes
model.getData("top_rated").observe(this, data -> {
dataList.clear();
dataList.addAll(data);
movieRecyclerViewAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
});
My project use MVP architecture and RxJava to get data from a remote JSON Api.
I have a MainActivity, it has 2 roles. The first one is to be a fragment container, the second one is to get data from the JSON api and transmit it to my fragment (I only have one fragment for now but will have another one later using the same data).
For now, I'm getting the data in my MainActivity. I'm trying to get the data from my fragment by calling a method in my MainActivity (using an interface for decoupling).
The problem is the data in my fragment is always empty, I suppose it's because my activity inflate my fragment so fast that when my fragment calls my activity method to get the data this data is still empty since the request didn't receive the answer yet and this request is called asynchronously using RxJava.
So I want to wait for the data being loaded to open my fragment,or open my fragment and wait the data being loaded in the activity before get it (showing a visual progress to the user). The problem is not really how to do this but when and where. Thank you for your help.
I moved my loadData() method and the transaction to open my fragment several times in different positions in the lifecycle, nothing worked. For now everything is in in MainActivity.onStart() :
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
presenter.setView(this);
// Load data from JSON API
presenter.loadData(city, authToken);
// Load fragments
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
Fragment fragment = fm.findFragmentById(R.id.ll_container);
if (fragment == null) {
fragment = new PollutionLevelsFragment();
fm.beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.ll_container, fragment)
.commit();
}
}
The data is retrieve in the loadData() method of my presenter :
public class MainPresenter implements MainActivityMVP.Presenter {
final static String TAG = MainPresenter.class.getCanonicalName();
private MainActivityMVP.View view;
private MainActivityMVP.Model model;
private Subscription subscription = null;
public MainPresenter(MainActivityMVP.Model model) { this.model = model; }
#Override
public void loadData(String city, String authToken) {
subscription = model.result(city, authToken)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Observer<Aqicn>() {
#Override
public void onCompleted() {
Log.i(TAG,"completed");
}
#Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
#Override
public void onNext(Aqicn aqicn) {
Data data = aqicn.getData();
Iaqi iaqi = data.getIaqi();
ViewModel viewModel = new ViewModel(data.getAqi(),
data.getDominentpol(),
iaqi.getCo().getV(),
iaqi.getH().getV(),
iaqi.getNo2().getV(),
iaqi.getO3().getV(),
iaqi.getP().getV(),
iaqi.getPm10().getV(),
iaqi.getPm25().getV(),
iaqi.getR().getV(),
iaqi.getSo2().getV(),
iaqi.getT().getV(),
iaqi.getW().getV());
Log.d(TAG,data.getCity().getName());
if (view != null) {
view.updateData(viewModel);
}
}
});
}
#Override
public void rxUnsubscribe() {
if (subscription != null) {
if (!subscription.isUnsubscribed()) {
subscription.unsubscribe();
}
}
}
#Override
public void setView(MainActivityMVP.View view) {
this.view = view;
}
}
When the response to the request is received the presenter call the updateData() method in MainActivity (see in my presenter code above). This is where I initialize the ArrayList pollutionLevels that is supposed to contain the data I try to get from my fragment :
#Override
public void updateData(ViewModel viewModel) {
this.pollutionData = viewModel;
pollutionLevels = viewModel.getAllPolluants();
for(PollutionLevel p : pollutionLevels) {
Log.d(TAG,p.getName());
}
}
This is the method in my MainActivity called from my fragment to get data :
#Override
public ArrayList<PollutionLevel> getPollutionLevels() {
return pollutionLevels;
}
In my fragment I try to get the data in onAttach() but it's always empty :
public interface PollutionLevelsListener{
ArrayList<PollutionLevel> getPollutionLevels();
}
#Override
public void onAttach(Context context) {
super.onAttach(context);
try {
pollutionLevelsListener = (PollutionLevelsListener) context;
ArrayList<PollutionLevel> levels = pollutionLevelsListener.getPollutionLevels();
for(PollutionLevel l:levels) {
Log.d(TAG,l.getName());
}
} catch (ClassCastException castException){
castException.printStackTrace();
}
}
EDIT : add ViewModel.getAllPolluants() method
This is the method in my ViewModel that returns the ArrayList :
public ArrayList<PollutionLevel> getAllPolluants() {
ArrayList<PollutionLevel> allLevels = new ArrayList();
allLevels.add(new PollutionLevel("Co",Double.toString(co)));
allLevels.add(new PollutionLevel("H",Double.toString(h)));
allLevels.add(new PollutionLevel("No2",Double.toString(no2)));
allLevels.add(new PollutionLevel("o3",Double.toString(o3)));
allLevels.add(new PollutionLevel("p",Double.toString(p)));
allLevels.add(new PollutionLevel("o3",Double.toString(o3)));
allLevels.add(new PollutionLevel("pm10",Integer.toString(pm10)));
allLevels.add(new PollutionLevel("pm25",Integer.toString(pm25)));
allLevels.add(new PollutionLevel("r",Double.toString(r)));
allLevels.add(new PollutionLevel("so2",Double.toString(so2)));
allLevels.add(new PollutionLevel("t",Double.toString(t)));
allLevels.add(new PollutionLevel("w",Double.toString(w)));
return allLevels;
}
EDIT : Add new modified MainActivity class and PollutionLevelListener interface, trying to apply #cricket_007 answer
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements MainActivityMVP.View, PollutionLevelsListener {
final static String TAG = MainActivity.class.getCanonicalName();
#BindString(R.string.city)

#################### EDIT ########################
After a lot of doubt with what solution to adopt I follow the answer and recommendations of #yosriz. This is the code I ended with. Be aware that I still need to implement a cache management feature as for now the JSON resquest is made for both fragment.
As a result I have a common repository used by my both fragment. The MainActivity became only a fragment container, it doesn't get any data. it doesn't even have a MVP structure since I think It's now useless.
My both fragment (so my both features) get their data from PollutionLevelRepository :
public interface Repository {
Observable<Aqicn> getPollutionLevelsFromNetwork(String city, String authToken);
Observable<Aqicn> getPollutionLevels(String city, String authToken);
}
public class PollutionLevelsRepository implements Repository {
private PollutionApiService pollutionApiService;
private static Observable<Aqicn> pollutionData = null;
public PollutionLevelsRepository(PollutionApiService pollutionApiService) {
this.pollutionApiService = pollutionApiService;
}
#Override
public Observable<Aqicn> getPollutionLevelsFromNetwork(String city, String authToken) {
pollutionData = pollutionApiService.getPollutionObservable(city, authToken);
return pollutionData;
}
#Override
public Observable<Aqicn> getPollutionLevels(String city, String authToken) {
return getPollutionLevelsFromNetwork(city, authToken);
}
}
The Model of my first fragment (Donut feature) :
public class DonutModel implements DonutFragmentMVP.Model {
final static String TAG = DonutModel.class.getSimpleName();
private Repository repository;
public DonutModel(Repository repository) {
this.repository = repository;
}
#Override
public Observable<Aqicn> getPollutionLevels(String city, String authToken) {
Observable<Aqicn> aqicnObservable = repository.getPollutionLevels(city, authToken);
return aqicnObservable;
}
}
The Model of my second fragment (Pollution level feature) :
public class PollutionLevelsModel implements PollutionLevelsFragmentMVP.Model {
private Repository repository;
public PollutionLevelsModel(Repository repository) {
this.repository = repository;
}
#Override
public Observable<Aqicn> result(String city, String authToken) {
Observable<Aqicn> aqicnObservable = repository.getPollutionLevels(city, authToken);
return aqicnObservable;
}
}
Well, you probably have timing issue, the model.result is async IO operation that will update data on activity in async fashion when it will finish, while your fragment call to get the data is happening as soon as the fragment attached the activity (which is still async as you call fragment commit() and not commitNow()) but if you compare it to the probably network call of model.result it will be probably always faster.
Actually I think your approach is wrong, when you're using reactive fashion with Rx you should push the data, here at the end, you're pulling it at the fragment side from the Activity, while you don't know if this data is already available.
The data that is loaded from the presenter should update immediately the fragment, meaning either your Activity.updateData() will update the fragment, or more correct approach to my opinion is that the presenter will be tied to the fragment itself as this is the actual View it's updating, so the view.UpdateData() at the presenter will notify the fragment directly.
Did you tried to make an method inside the fragment and you can hit it once updateData(ViewModel viewModel) called ?
for example (try to add this method in you fragment):
public class YourFragmentName extends Fragment {
public YourFragmentName(StepsHandler stepsHandler){
this.stepsHandler = stepsHandler;
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_supplier_registrtion_first, container, false);
return rootView;
}
public void dataLoaded() {
// Do what you need after data finish loading..
}
}
From your Activity :
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements StepsHandler {
YourFragmentName fragmentName;
//onCreate ()
fragmentName = new YourFragmentName(this);
#Override
public void updateData(ViewModel viewModel) {
this.pollutionData = viewModel;
pollutionLevels = viewModel.getAllPolluants();
fragmentName.dataLoaded();
for(PollutionLevel p : pollutionLevels) {
Log.d(TAG,p.getName());
}
}
}
I'm trying to get the data from my fragment by calling a method in my MainActivity
It seems your interface is only returning the field, which could very possibly be before the request has finished. Which you seem to understand...
didn't receive the answer yet and this request is called asynchronously using RxJava
I wouldn't suggest you wait, and instead do
open my fragment and wait the data being loaded in the activity before get it (showing a visual progress to the user).
However you want to implement that, you can try a new ProgressDialog() and show / hide that.
Your issue is that onAttach gets immediately called and the request is still going on indefinitely.
You need to "subscribe" for that data from the Fragment.
A "listener" is not typically written to implement a "getter", so let's rewrite that
public interface PollutionLevelsListener {
void onPollutionLevelsLoaded(List<PollutionLevel> levels);
}
Then, you can use that instead to start your Fragment rather than immediately when the Activity starts
// The Activity
class ... implements PollutionLevelsListener {
#Override
public void onPollutionLevelsLoaded(List<PollutionLevel> levels) {
for(PollutionLevel p : pollutionLevels) {
Log.d(TAG,p.getName());
};
// Moved this section here
// Load fragments
FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
Fragment fragment = fm.findFragmentById(R.id.ll_container);
if (fragment == null) {
fragment = new PollutionLevelsFragment();
// If your object is Parcelable
/*
* Bundle args = new Bundle();
* args.putParcelableArrayList(levels);
* fragment.setArguments(args);
*/
ft.add(R.id.ll_container, fragment).commit();
}
}
And now that you have that method,
the presenter call the updateData() method in MainActivity
Well, there's where the list comes from, so just pass it to that new method where the Fragment is then loaded
#Override
public void updateData(ViewModel viewModel) {
this.pollutionData = viewModel;
if (pollutionLevels == null) {
pollutionsLevels = new ArrayList<>();
}
pollutionLevels.clear();
pollutionLevels.addAll(viewModel.getAllPolluants());
this.onPollutionLevelsLoaded(pollutionsLevels);
}
I have an activity. It contains fragment, and this fragment has RecyclerView. Some data loading from server and showing inside first item of RecyclerView.
I need setup IdlingResource for this item. So when the data will be loaded from server and showing inside this item, tests must starting.
How to setup IdlingResource for item inside RecyclerView?
IdlingResource on RecyclerView
I'm not sure that's how we use it, but it works...
In YourFragment:
public interface RecyclerViewHaveDataListener {
void recyclerViewHaveData();
}
private RecyclerViewHaveDataListener callbackIdl;
#VisibleForTesting
public void registerOnCallBackIdl(RecyclerViewHaveDataListener callbackIdl){
this.callbackIdl = callbackIdl;
if (adapter.getItemCount() > 0){
this.callbackIdl.recyclerViewHaveData();
this.callbackIdl = null;
}
}
// Use this where you add your datas to your RecyclerView by your adapter
if (callbackIdl != null && adapter.getItemCount() > 0){
callbackIdl.recyclerViewHaveData();
callbackIdl = null;
}
In Your test package:
public class RecyclerViewIdlingRes implements IdlingResource, YourFragment.RecyclerViewHaveDataListener {
private String name;
private boolean isIdle;
private volatile ResourceCallback resourceCallback;
public RecyclerViewIdlingRes(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
#Override
public String getName() {
return name;
}
#Override
public boolean isIdleNow() {
return isIdle;
}
#Override
public void registerIdleTransitionCallback(ResourceCallback callback) {
this.resourceCallback = callback;
}
#Override
public void recyclerViewHaveData() {
if (resourceCallback == null){
return;
}
isIdle = true;
resourceCallback.onTransitionToIdle();
}
}
in your test:
#Test
public void itemIsComming(){
RecyclerViewIdlingRes mIdl = new RecyclerViewIdlingRes("idlingRecyclerView");
IdlingRegistry.getInstance().register(mIdl);
Fragment fragment = activity.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.activity_main_frame_layout);
if (fragment instanceof YourFragment) {
((YourFragment)fragment).registerOnCallBack(mIdl);
}
onIdle();
IdlingRegistry.getInstance().unregister(mIdl);
// DO YOUR STUFF...
}
The good approach will be to implement your own IdlingResource that will notify Espresso when data loading is finished. You can find some example here - How to use Espresso Idling Resource for network calls
